My RR client paid $425,000. The new Maserati's were only $128,000 sticker price. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 12, 13:54 8
- There is a place in Greenwich that sells used RRs, Bentleys and Ferrari's. Surprisingly reasonable but still to my for me to ever afford. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:56
- Jesus effing Christ. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:55 6
  - Your idea of what a car should cost is based on mass production, assembly lines and economies of scale. Not every vehicle is made this way -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 14:09
  - I think it's unimaginable (for me) to have that much disposable income. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 13:57 3
    - "I dunno, I can imagine quite a bit." -- nm - Han Solo SI Nov 12, 14:13
    - I see people who have it everyday. It's odd. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:59 1
      - Work your way up in finance and you will be able to afford one. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:07
  - That's nothing. A Ferrari Enzo is 1 million dollars plus, used. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:57
Well, for example Rolls Royce are handmade, IIRC -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 13:54 1
- You are correct, still hand made. -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 13:55
To even stand next to one and look inside. Those cars are amazing. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:53 8
- I stood next to one of $140k in Berlin - M Nov 12, 13:56 7
  - Thats the one that needs to keys to top 200 mph + right? -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:05 5
    - yep. it looks smaller in real life :-) -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:07 4
      - It's an amazing car. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:08
      - iirc, it's the fastest street legal car. Just an amazing piece of machinery. -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 14:07 2
        
        and in Germany you can actually drive it on the autobahn -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:10 1
        
        I think I'd have a Stacy moment in my pants. - krusty Nov 12, 14:15
  - *faints* -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:56
You live in Denmark ?? - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:52 10
- seriously? -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:52 9
  - well price in DK = US price x 3 ... the other sentence didn't make any sense -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:54
  - germans re-import german cars from denmark -- nm - M Nov 12, 13:54 6
    - Danes move to germany to get cheaper cars too -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 13:56 2
      - or Sweden -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:56 1
        
        and when they hace built a brige from Skagen to Oslo Danes will move to Norway too -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 13:57
    - this is true too. but they don't live in Denmark then do they ? ;o) - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:55 2
      - that's why it's cheaper to buy a german car in denmark and bring it back than buying it in germany. -- nm - M Nov 12, 13:58 1
        
        most car producers have to sell thir cars in Denmark with a relativly large discount - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 14:00
  - yup. same with gas -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:53
demand/supply -- nm - M Nov 12, 13:51
